There was an abundance of content marketing tips at the
Content2Conversion event hosted in NYC earlier this month. Being a
newbie to both the Big Apple and the conference, I had plenty to
keep my mind occupied for a few days (thus the delayed blog
post...or something like that). The line-up of speakers was second
to none and there were plenty of opportunites to connect with like
minded marketers - many of whom had the same questions, so I felt I
was in good company. Content marketing is no... Read More » »

Today's blog post is provided by Mike Agron, co-founder or
WebAttract. Mike recently presented on the ReadyTalk Webinar
series in a webinar called "Managing the Webinar Life Cycle
from Start to Finish." He also co-wrote an eBook on the
topic. I always say that anyone can deliver a mediocre
webinar, but to deliver an amazing webinar it takes thoughtful
planning, nurturing and execution. Ask yourself, are webinars
high enough on your priority list to devote the necessary time to
craft the... Read More » »

Like many of my peers, I sign up for a few webinars a week....to
learn about competitor products, best practices that I can use in
my role, or what's on the roadmap for different partners.
Almost every confirmation email I receive has a handy 'Add to
Calendar' option...making it easy for me to block the specific date
and time in Outlook. After adding the webinar to my calendar,
the confirmation email (which tells me how to access the event), is
promptly deleted. I keep a very clean inbox! When... Read

This is the last post of a three-part series on creating and
delivering content that inspires viewers, beyond just your slides
(beautiful as they may be). Be sure to check out Part I (content)
and Part II (medium) if you haven't had the chance, but today's
topic is all about the delivery. Delivery can make or break your
presentation. As presenter, make sure you and your materials are
not redundant. You are the one bringing life to the slides by
adding useful information, not reading them... Read More » »

This is part II of yesterday's post on the topic of creating and
delivering content that goes beyond your slide deck to inspire
viewers. The component for success that we'll address today is the
medium. The Medium is your channel for conveying the content, so
it's important to choose a means by which the audience can get the
most out of the material. Here are a few things to consider: How
big is your audience? What kind of venue will the audience be in?
(Home at their computer? In a large... Read More » »

So, yesterday morning I had an "oh crap!" moment (that's the PG-13
version). You know, when you send out an email blast to 11,000
people and realize that you forgot to review the subject line that
still said "NEEDS TITLE"? Yeah, one of those. Most marketers have
experienced this kind of flub at some point. In fact, I had a few
replies assuring me that they had 'been there, done that' and were
hoping to give me a heads-up so I could potentially catch the rest
that hadn't gone through yet. Y'all...Read More » »

Managing a remote workforce—sometimes hundreds of miles
away—is dependent on outlining procedures and providing direct
communication to your workers. Businesses shy away from telework
for this very reason, and they believe managing a remote workforce
is extremely complex and time-consuming. Luckily, web conferencing
and webinars make the process painless for collaborative meetings
with remote workers and supports open communication with the staff.
Employing remote workers allow businesses to... Read More » »

In today’s increasingly global business atmosphere, leaders are
spending more time than ever collaborating and innovating across
continents. This often requires travel to get key decision makers
in front of each other. At the same time, there is a green business
movement to reduce the carbon footprint in an effort to preserve
natural resources and the earth for future generations. Until the
emergence of web conferencing services, these two factors worked
against each other. Web Conferencing... Read More » »

Let’s face it. If you’re a speaker for a webinar, you probably
don’t have time to learn the conferencing platform on which you’ll
be presenting. And often, all the features that you’ll learn
on a technical tour just aren’t applicable. What you need to know,
and quickly, are the bare bones basics: how to push slides, how to
manage chats, and how to share your desktop or applications. You
probably will not need to know the more advanced features, as
someone will either be doing those for you, or... Read More » »

When your car breaks down and you’re stranded, who is the first
person you call? Would you rather call your flaky friend or the
reliable friend who will drop everything and come and help?
Regardless of context, reliability has the same meaning. When
vetting the strength of a conferencing provider, especially from
the IT perspective, reliability is one of the most important
factors in the decision making process. You’d want the
reliable friend versus the flaky friend! The whitepaper, “Six
Steps... Read More » »
